Disabling Handbrake sensor to Soft Top

[BoXsTeR S]

Hi, can anyone direct me to DIY disabling handbrake sensor to the softtop?

It is annoying when you need to get the softtop up without completely stopping the car, pulling on the handbrake eg when in slow moving traffic.

Porsche Service Australia won't provide me with details...

If this is a simple "trick" like taping up Pin 18 from the relay - where abouts is this relay?

All the above relates to my Boxster S. Many thanks for any relpy that can help.

Here is a photo of the location of the (double) relay (a/k/a convertible top control module), just above the fuse panel at the left kickpanel, (beneath the dashboard).

It's the double relay with the small black square, third row up from bottom (no relays in bottom row), second from right. It takes some pulling to get it off the first time.
